So I had my Drs apt today. I was really nervous about going in because this Dr is not on the list for barefoot friendly Drs here. He didn't say anything bad about it and didn't act like I was crazy when I said I ran barefoot. He also didn't say anything good about it either. He kind of seems like he was neutral and just trying to treat me as a patient.
Anyhow, he diagnosed me as having a slight PF and then also having achilles tendonitus(this being the worst of the two). He told me I needed to rest my foot and sleep with this night splint thingy. Dorsal something or other. He then prescribed seeing the physical therapist, but the soonest I can get in is not until Feb 1st. Is there anything that I can be doing on my own for these two conditions? Oh ya and he did say I have collapsed arches and extremely tight calves. He seemed very surprised when I told him I had stopped static stretching a while back when I had a calf injury and healed a two month injury inside of a week of non stretching. Anyhow, if you all need anymore information please feel free to ask, otherwise I will look forward to your helpful tips. Thanks!
